Podcast appearances and mentions of Roy Cooper

North Carolina's 2026 U.S. Senate race officially kicked off as former Gov. Roy Cooper and Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley have formally launched their campaigns for the seat where Sen. Thom Tillis isn't seeking another term. To get a better sense of what we can expect from the campaign and the two leading candidates, WUNC's Colin Campbell sat down with two of the state's top political strategists. Jim Blaine is co-founder of the firm The Differentiators and the former chief of staff to Republican Senate leader Phil Berger, and Kimberly Reynolds is a co-founder of the firm Maven Strategies and former executive director of the N.C. Democratic Party. Blaine and Reynolds expect the high-profile candidates and a big impact on the Senate balance of power could result in a campaign that breaks spending records.

In an election year of astronomically high stakes, in the absolutely crucial Senate race in North Carolina, Democrats got their wish with popular former Governor Roy Cooper entering the race. Fresh from announcing his candidacy, Cooper talks with Rachel Maddow about his accomplishments leading North Carolina, and what he hopes to bring to Washington, D.C. 

Global outrage is building as the hunger crisis in Gaza descends into new depths of horror. Even aid workers themselves — the people tasked with helping Palestinians find food and water — say they, too, are starving. The ballooning crisis comes amid months of severe aid restrictions imposed by Israel, which has justified its actions with claims that Hamas has been stealing food and other supplies to maintain its control of the territory. But even President Donald Trump said Monday that Israel needs to do more to let aid in. Maryland Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen joins us to talk about the worsening hunger crisis in Gaza, how the U.S. is complicit, and what should be done next.And in headlines: President Trump declines to rule out a pardon for Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, former North Carolina Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper announces a Senate run, and a federal judge blocks Medicaid cuts for Planned Parenthood clinics.Show Notes:Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Breaking Brett Jensen kicks the show off by talking about Roy Cooper’s official U.S. Senate campaign launch and the wave of criticism that followed. Jensen plays Cooper’s two-and-a-half-minute campaign video, then immediately pushes back on several claims, calling them misleading or outright false.

Later, Jensen breaks down the Democratic response to Roy Cooper’s U.S. Senate campaign launch, highlighting what he sees as misleading claims and political spin. Jensen reads directly from press releases by the North Carolina Democratic Party, Josh Stein, and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, challenging their portrayal of Cooper’s record.

Join Jim and Greg for Thursday's 3 Martini Lunch as they examine whether anyone from President Obama's administration will be held accountable for concocting and executing the bogus Trump-Russia collusion narrative, Democrats scoring a major recruiting win in North Carolina's Senate race, and what Ghislaine Maxwell might reveal today in her DOJ interview about the Epstein scandal.First, they react to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard explaining how President Obama and his national security team fabricated intelligence to undermine Donald Trump's first term. They also discuss why it's probably going to be very difficult to prosecute or convict members of the team for their actions.Next, they wince as Democrats in North Carolina reportedly succeed in convincing former Gov. Roy Cooper to run for the Tar Heel State's open U.S. Senate seat. They explain what makes Cooper a tough opponent for the GOP and size up likely Republican candidate and current Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley.Finally, they wonder what Justice Department officials are hoping to learn from Ghislaine Maxwell today as they interview her about Jeffrey Epstein's repulsive exploitation of girls and other people who were involved. They also address reports that Maxwell is expecting a pardon or commutation for cooperating with the DOJ.Please visit our great sponsors:Upgrade your skincare routine with Caldera Lab and see the difference.  Visit https://CalderaLab.com/3ML and use code 3ML at checkout for 20% off your first order.Manage your workplace stress with Betterhelp.

On this week's episode, two of Tim's long time political friends join him to talk about the potential political impacts of the “Big Beautiful Bill” on Medicaid expansion.  Tim is joined by Billy Warden of RLF Communications and Brian Lewis from New Frame. They also talk about the latest on former Gov. Roy Cooper potentially entering next year's U.S. Senate race.

Days after U.S. Senator Thom Tillis announced he will not run for reelection, host Tim Boyum sits down with two of North Carolina's top consultants to talk about what's next.  Morgan Jackson, a top Democratic strategist for former Gov. Roy Cooper, and Jonathan Felts, a top Republican strategist for current U.S. Senator Ted Budd, join Tim to talk about Tillis' decision, potential candidates and the role of President Donald Trump. Before his announcement, Tillis weighed Trump's influence and Senate GOP support, said a person who was granted anonymity to discuss internal dynamics. Tillis saw the GOP pushing forward with Medicaid cuts and Trump's Truth social posts calling for a new primary challenger as a “no.” Jackson said the data shows though, that Tillis was one of the weakest incumbents in the country — Republican or Democrat. “I think, if you are in a place where swing voters view the way they do Thom Tillis, meaning upside-down in the numbers, and you're now in open warfare with the person who determines whether or not you're going to win your primary, it makes total sense. There was not a path forward,” Morgan said. “In a Primary or General.” Democrats now see his decision as a political opportunity to gain seats in the 2026 midterm elections, especially in the now open Senate race of this long-contested state, and some Republicans are mulling the idea as well. And though Tim says he usually doesn't focus on the “who's in, who's out,” he does admit there are some big potential names who could enter the race this summer.  Lara Trump, a big name in the hat, was born in Wilmington, but has established residency in Florida. President Trump recently said she'd be his top pick. “She's a great person, Lara Trump. I mean, that would always be my first choice,” he said. “But she doesn't live there now, but she's there all the time. Her parents are there, you know. She really knows North Carolina well.”  “I think we have a lot of good candidates if we're looking at it. I think if Lara Trump wants the nomination, it's hers for the taking,” Felts said. “She connects well with the voters here in North Carolina. They see her as one of us. They see her as a ‘hometown girl.'” On the Democrat ticket, Tim asked Jackson whether there's national pressure that the party needs former Gov. Roy Cooper to step up and be the ‘savior'. “It's easy to do the math and say there's no question Roy Cooper gives the best chance to win if you're lay Democrat, a reporter, or an activist,” Jackson said. “They're giving him space to make that decision, but yeah, they really want him to run.” Join Tim for this fun, informative and news breaking discussion.

Chuck Todd reacts to the news that North Carolina senator Thom Tillis won't seek reelection, why harassment from the Trump team led to his decision, and why his decision gives Democrats another opportunity to pick up a senate seat in the 2026 midterm elections. He also highlights the path for Democrats to win the senate in 26' and cautions Republicans about the potential of a Democratic president abusing their power in a similar way to Trump.Then, Chuck sits down with renowned pollster Kristen Soltis Anderson to dissect the seismic shifts in American politics following the 2024 election. They dive deep into the surprising demographic realignments that defined Trump's victory, including his unprecedented gains with young and Latino voters, while exploring whether traditional demographic-based political messaging has become obsolete. Anderson shares insights from Pew Research's unique voter validation methodology and explains why the biggest story of 2024 wasn't who showed up to vote, but rather the millions of Biden 2020 supporters who stayed home.The conversation spans from foreign policy contradictions—where only 8% support attacking Iran but majorities back preventing Iranian nuclear weapons—to the evolving nature of political coalitions and whether we're witnessing a return to pre-Obama era electoral patterns. Anderson and Todd examine the psychological profile of different generations, particularly Gen Z's political malleability and loss of societal trust shaped by COVID, while discussing the future challenges facing pollsters as AI technology threatens traditional survey methodology. They conclude by analyzing whether 2024 represented a "vote for" or "vote against" election, and how both parties must adapt to meet an increasingly anti-establishment electorate.Finally, Chuck answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment about baseball, the media, and the prospects of Republican congressman Mike Lawler running for governor in New York.Timeline:(Timestamps may vary based on advertisements)00:00 Introduction01:00 Senator Thom Tillis won't seek reelection02:00 Tillis struggled to fully embrace Trumpism/MAGA03:00 Tillis felt harassed by the Trump team05:30 Rep.

Tune in here to this ​Monday's edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen! Breaking Brett Jensen kicks the show off by talking about Senator Thom Tillis’s decision not to seek re-election and the political firestorm that led to it. Jensen dives into how Tillis’s stance against additional Medicaid cuts in the Senate’s budget deal triggered backlash from GOP leaders and even former President Donald Trump. Despite a strong voting record with Trump, Tillis’s public hesitations often stirred frustration among North Carolina Republicans. Later Jensen dives into the Democratic side of the race to replace Senator Thom Tillis. Brett discusses the two most talked-about potential candidates: former Governor Roy Cooper and current Attorney General Jeff Jackson. While Cooper has name recognition,Jensen argues that Jackson is the more viable option due to his youth, energy, and broader appeal. In an exclusive one-on-one interview, Jackson acknowledges that he’s not currently planning a run but doesn’t rule it out—citing his productivity as Attorney General and the steep financial demands of a Senate campaign.

Earlier this month, former Congressman Wiley Nickel became the first Democrat to officially launch a campaign in North Carolina's 2026 U.S. Senate race. He's an attorney and former Barack Obama aide who represented Wake County in the state Senate before being elected to Congress in 2022 from one of the state's only swing districts. He spoke with WUNC about how he plans to take on incumbent Republican Sen. Thom Tillis, the prospects that former Gov. Roy Cooper could enter the race, and what he thinks Democrats should do differently to fight the Trump administration. 

Tune in here to this Friday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show Chad Adams Filling in!!! Chad Adams, filling in for Brett Winterble today, kicks off the program talking about the Democratic Party's perceived political missteps and reactions to President Trump’s rhetoric. Adams argues that Democrats often react emotionally rather than with a clear governing philosophy, claiming they oppose Trump initiatives out of reflex rather than reason. He criticizes figures like Bernie Sanders and suggests the party is moving away from mainstream positions it once held. Shifting to North Carolina politics, We're joined by North Carolina Representative Charlie Miller, who represents parts of New Hanover and Brunswick Counties.to discuss the tone of the current legislative session under Governor Josh Stein, which Miller says feels more cooperative compared to the more combative atmosphere under former Governor Roy Cooper. Miller notes that while the House is one vote shy of a supermajority, some Democrats have been willing to work across the aisle. He anticipates future tension around hot-button issues like DEI, constitutional carry, and school book review policies, but says for now, cooperation is steady. We're also joined rajesh p. n. rao co-founder and CEO of World Class Health, to discuss his innovative approach to making healthcare more affordable. Rao began his journey in the early 2000s, inspired by the growing crisis of high deductibles and unaffordable care, even for the insured. He co-founded a company that partnered with self-insured employers to offer employees access to high-quality, lower-cost medical procedures abroad. Hospitals in locations like Costa Rica, Mexico, and the Cayman Islands provided care that often exceeded U.S. standards, with lower infection rates and faster recovery times.

Gov. Roy Cooper's second four-year term as our state's chief executive has come to a close, and if there's one accomplishment from that period that stands out above all others it was his tireless and ultimately successful campaign to expand the state's Medicaid program – a move that has saved and will continue to save, […]

Here's what makes North Carolina, with its 16 Electoral College votes, unique among the electoral battlegrounds this year.Come election night, it will be one of the first of the closely fought states where the polls will close, giving the campaigns, and the public, early clues on where the night is headed.The state is probably the best opportunity for Democrats to win a state this year that they didn't win in 2020, and the party — along with the state's Democratic governor — is optimistic that demographic shifts in the state might favor Kamala Harris.North Carolina is still reeling from Hurricane Helene, which hit late last month, caused an estimated $53 billion in damages and upended early voting plans in the western — and heavily Republican-leaning — part of the state. It also led to a flood of misinformation about the governor, Roy Cooper, and the federal disaster response.On today's show, how Hurricane Helene and the misinformation that followed have reshaped the election landscape in this crucial battleground state — and changed the closing messages from both parties.On today's episode:Gov. Roy Cooper, Democrat of North Carolina Unlock full access to New York Times podcasts and explore everything from politics to pop culture.
